The Lakers are weighing upgrades ahead of the trade deadline, with Philadelphia emerging as a potential multi-player trade partner.

The Los Angeles Lakers might still be in the running to land Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in a blockbuster trade.

According to one prominent NBA reporter, the Lakers have six targets as far as two-way wings or guards on the trade market.

The Los Angeles Lakers' Jaxson Hayes and San Antonio Spurs' Carter Bryant have agreed to participate in the contest, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Thursday. The news comes after three-time defending Slam Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung confirmed he would not be participating in the event.

Los Angeles Lakers sharpshooter Dalton Knecht may be on the verge of getting moved ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

The Lakers are the latest team who wants to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but it may take a lot for it to happen.

With less than a week to go a lot of trade talk is out there, but the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation could hold up other deals.
